Chapter 315 Reconstruction
The migration of people from Lanqiuze continued to grow, and they were all new faces. Their expressions were numb, but their eyes gleamed with the desire to survive.
The Qiuhe River incident could not have affected only Lanqiuze. The changed course of the Qiuhe River and the mountain range that flew in completely destroyed this land that had become habitable through generations of hard work.
The spiritual energy was chaotic, and large areas of the terrain were altered. Although no one was hurt, the area was no longer suitable for human habitation.
To survive, migration was the only option. People naturally gravitate towards the crowd, and the large, orderly, and disciplined group from Lanqiuze, along with the disciples in familiar clothing who "accompanied" them from the horizon, became their primary choice.
Although they had made up their minds to stop interfering, seeing more and more refugees joining them and suffering undeserved misfortune, Senior Sister Jin Su and the others couldn't help but soften their hearts.
So many innocent people, they need to help them find a way to survive, especially those newcomers. Without Yan Yang's protection, they first suffered the beast tide and then this great calamity. If they don't lend a hand, they really won't survive!
Just as Cheng Jiu and his group had expected, the cities near Yuanxiao River were already short of manpower due to the approaching flood season, and this large group of "refugees" of unknown origin had arrived.
Their plight was even more tragic than that of those who had experienced the beast tide, and few cities were willing to take them on. Senior Sister Jin Su and her companions were eager to help and discussed the matter with the city lord, but due to the situation of the residents of Lanqiuze, they simply could not bring themselves to endorse these refugees.
Their cryptic attitude made the city lords realize that these refugees were probably not just ordinary trouble, but a group of troublesome individuals with hidden dangers!
They were even more unhappy!
Although they did not explicitly refuse because they were disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, they did not agree either. They only arranged for people to provide relief, but did not take any of them in.
They encountered a tough but not-so-tough rebate, but Senior Sister Jin Su and the others were not angry. They were actually speaking up for Lan Qiu Ze, which was more painful than killing them. In their hearts, Lan Qiu Ze was inherently "tainted".
Without knowing whether they've improved their situation, this containment operation, which was inherently somewhat "tricky," is quite a tricky matter. It's good that they weren't forced out.
After encountering setbacks at every turn, everyone turned their attention back to the place they had been standing on: Changming City.
The situation in Changming City is not good either. The former city lord died suddenly, leaving behind a mess.
Logically speaking, for a city like this, if the Guiyuan Sect does not appoint someone, the person with the highest strength would usually be in charge.
Once you gain the approval of the various factions in the city and pass the examination by the Guiyuan Sect, you can officially take office.
With the position of city lord vacant, several families in the city naturally coveted it.
Logically speaking, the new city lord should have been chosen by now, and the Guiyuan Sect should be conducting an evaluation.
But the new city lord fled less than a day after taking office!
He simply realized that the hole left by the previous city lord was too big, and to fill it, he would have to use all his power, which was simply not worth it!
The current situation is that there is no city lord, and several forces are lying in wait in the shadows, waiting for someone to take over and straighten out the affairs of the city lord's mansion so that they can compete for it in a legitimate way.
In other words, Changming City is in a "strange" period of inactivity. There is no one in charge in the city, and everything is in a state of flux, which is just the right time to take in this group of troublemakers.
As for what happens next, a new city lord will take over. Even if you know that the matter is settled, you can only accept it with a bitter pill to swallow.
Changming City is not just limited to the Lanqiuze area. The cultivation world is vast and sparsely populated, with a considerable amount of undeveloped areas. However, these areas are teeming with powerful and numerous demonic beasts, making them unsuitable for low-level cultivators to survive!
With Immortal Lord Qingxu present, nothing is a problem. Once the demonic beasts are cleared out, a seventh-grade defensive formation can be set up, which will be enough for these refugees to develop in the early stages. After cultivating for a long time, the demonic beasts will naturally detour. At that time, even if the formation fails, there will be nothing to fear.
After all, the scattered monsters were dealt with by the people sent by Changming City and Guiyuan Sect.
Suitable places to live are both easy and hard to find. After all, places suitable for human survival are also popular with monsters, and they also need to be near water, have abundant resources, and be suitable for cultivation.
Ideally, the water monsters should not be too strong. If they are strong, even if you manage to wipe them out, they can easily grow into powerful monsters, which would be disastrous for the residents along the coast.
Lanqiuze was once such a blessed land. Before the water spirit stone vein beneath it was mined, spiritual energy was scarce. Most of the spiritual energy was locked up by that water spirit stone vein, and there were few demonic beasts in the water. The scarcity of spiritual energy also meant that the surrounding demonic beasts were not very strong.
It can be said that, apart from the annual flood season, the residents of Lanqiuze live an extremely stable and peaceful life.
There are pros and cons. Although the lack of spiritual energy has limited the development of Lanqiuze, it is peaceful, free from disasters and difficulties, and close to Changming City!
In the world of cultivation, what more could one ask for?
If it were truly a blessed land, even with their strength, they wouldn't be able to hold onto it!
This peaceful and beautiful place was unfortunately invaded by Huang Si and his gang, like a drop of clear water being poured into thick ink, leaving them utterly defenseless.
Perhaps Huang Si was instigating them, but faced with abundant spirit stones, the residents of Lanqiuze could not control their greed.
As a result, they have ended up in their current predicament, like a frog being slowly boiled in water.
After searching through more than ten places, I finally found a place that was barely acceptable as a habitable place.
Cheng Jiu and his fellow disciples were also busy. They flew down to help clear out the demonic beasts. Qingxu Immortal Lord was the main force in clearing them out and also helped suppress the surrounding earth veins. Finally, they managed to tear open a habitable passage in the area surrounded by demonic beasts.
This place is not far from Changming City, and it is relatively convenient to travel to and from it, so there is no need to worry about being isolated and helpless in the vast wilderness.
Cheng Jiu and her team were so dedicated that the residents of Lanqiuze and other refugees knelt on the ground in gratitude, kowtowing repeatedly in thanks.
Although Cheng Jiu and the others no longer need it.
Watching the refugees moving about and working hard to rebuild their homes, one sees a scene of prosperity and vitality.
Cheng Jiu sighed, hoping they would remember this lesson and not repeat the same mistake.
To express their gratitude and remembrance, they named this new river Yan River. Before their residence, the river god temple in Yanyang was built!
Even this newly built town was named Yuanjiu Town.
The nine "salvations" signify that the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect used their benevolence to save them, a group of incorrigible sinners, and they want to tell their descendants to remember this forever.
They didn't know Cheng Jiu's name. How can the coincidence between them not be considered a kind of fate?
Of course, Cheng Jiu and the others were unaware of what was happening here.
In the distance, a huge and majestic ice dragon roamed beside a medium-sized airship.
After picking up Huang Si's sister and her two children, Cheng Jiu and the others embarked on their journey back to their clan.
On the deck, facing the ever-changing scenery, Cheng Jiu looked at Qingxu Immortal Lord with some curiosity: "Master, what will happen to Changming City afterward?"
After all, when Cheng Jiu and the others left, Changming City was already in chaos. If the city lord did not take office soon, the Guiyuan Sect would really become a city of sin.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Cheng Jiu. In this situation, if no city lord is appointed within three months, the sect will appoint one. The original wealth of the city lord's mansion is with us, and we'll probably have to take it with us then," Qin Che said.
The sect has a way to deal with it.
Cheng Jiu nodded with relief; everything was in the best possible condition!
